A video showing snippets of several fights purportedly at Huntsville High School over the past week is making waves online.

The video, posted to Facebook on Tuesday by Dr. Patrick Wilson, a Huntsville plastic surgeon, appears to have been created using the Flipagram app. As the video begins, it says "Welcome to HHS," and proceeds to show scuffle after scuffle in the hallways of the school.

"This is a video of all Huntsville High School fights that were supposedly recorded just last week. Superintendent Wardynski needs to be replaced!" Wilson writes.

When shown the video, Huntsville City Schools spokesman Keith Ward confirmed that at least one of the fights depicted occurred at the school last week. He said the fight broke out around dismissal time on Feb. 16.

Two students were recommended for expulsion and three others suspended as a result of that fight, Ward said.

Ward told AL.com he was looking into the circumstances of the other incidents on the video.

It was not immediately clear who shot the footage, which appeared to be captured on cell phone cameras. AL.com reached out to Wilson, but he has not yet responded.

Ward said that while the public may see a few seconds of a fight caught on cell phone video, school officials have multiple security cameras to rely on to determine exactly what started the altercation.

Policy changes for student conduct in recent years give more leeway in punishing those responsible, Ward said. Students found to be defending themselves may not face the same consequences as those who instigated the fight.
